Over the Black Dot

For those who haven’t heard of it it’s a pretty decent footy show on the Indiginous channel . Had Fergo as a guest tonight .

Also had Timana Tahu running over some of our defensive mistakes from the weekend on a telestrator . Was hoping someone managed to tape it and could send it to our newly re-signed head coach who hasn’t been able to spot and correct these deficiencies over 5 seasons .

Was actually pretty decent analysis by Timana . He was scathing on decisions made by our defenders , especially in and around the ruck , problems a few wins had masked this season . Cameron Smith picked these weaknesses apart and until they’re corrected all decent number 9s will do the same .

  • Damn, forgot it was on, agree its a good show.

  • Yes I watched it also. My problem with buying Paulo he doesn't hold the centre. Yes he is good in attack like most of our forwards. This should have been rectified after Canberra definitely after Newcastle. Gutho was consistently out of position as well. We need a few good hard-working middle forwards. 

  • Timana probably wasn't born to have a hosting role and isn't the most elequant speaker but you could tell he'd really put the time in to analyse some of the things that had gone wrong with us defensively.. as opposed to those bottom feeders on 360 who put it all down to contract distractions.

    There are major deficiencies in our defence, especially our ruck defence. We made Dany Levi, who's close to the most garbage 9 in the comp , look like a combo of Damien Cook and Cam Smith. The teams with the better 9s are going to kill us if some of these things arent fixed.

     

    • He was spot on with his assessment. We need a forward like jai arrow, finucane  turbo etc. I know we have brown coming back but we have not many hard working, big hitting middle forwards. 

      • welch would be my recruit in that mould

        • I haven't watched his defence closely but he brings plenty of aggression in his carries  He want come cheap after he plays origin 

    • You would of thought it would of been addressed after the Newcastle game GWF.

       

      giving the coaching staff far too much credit.

  • It's playing againn on NITV at midnight tonight and 10am Wednesday

      • No probs Pop.

        Everyone berated BA for not starting Reed, but his intention was to plug this problem in the middle of the park. We actually didn't look too horrible in the first 15 mins against the Storm..

      • He's been coming on for Tep in most games this season and sureing up the middle.
